HCI Group, Inc.: HCI Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

Florida Passes Historic Tort Reforms
Fourth Quarter Gross Loss Ratio Declined to 39.4%

TAMPA, Fla., March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), a holding company with operations in homeowners insurance, information technology services, real estate, and reinsurance, reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.18 diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.6 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share, compared with adjusted net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.14 loss per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. This press release includes an explanation of adjusted net income as well as a reconciliation to net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (known as "GAAP").

Management Commentary
"We were pleased to see further improvement in our underlying profitability this quarter," said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paresh Patel. "The bills passed by the Florida Legislature in 2022 squarely address the rising cost of litigation and social inflation in the Florida homeowners industry. We believe these reforms will support a healthier market for private insurance in Florida in the years to come."

Fourth Quarter 2022 Commentary
Consolidated gross premiums earned of $183.0 million increased 16.6% from $156.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting higher average premium per policy.

Premiums ceded for reinsurance of $77.0 million increased from $54.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Ceded premiums represented 42.1% and 34.8% of gross premiums earned in the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net investment income of $7.4 million increased from $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as the company repositioned the investment portfolio to take advantage of higher interest rates.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses of $72.1 million increased from $63.2 million in the same period of 2021. Losses and loss adjustment expenses as a percent of gross premiums earned declined to 39.4% from 40.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses of $24.0 million decreased from $24.2 million in the same quarter of 2021 and declined from 15.4% of gross premiums earned to 13.1%, reflecting a higher mix of renewal policies, lower commissions, and lower policy acquisition costs related to United Property and Casualty Insurance Company (UPC) policies.

General and administrative personnel expenses of $11.3 million decreased from $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to a reduction in stock-based compensation and a decrease in employee and executive bonuses.

Full Year 2022 Results
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the company reported a net loss of $54.6 million, or $6.24 loss per share, compared with net income of $7.2 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Adjusted net loss (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the twelve-month period was $47.5 million, or $5.48 loss per share compared with adjusted net income of $6.2 million, or $0.10 diluted earnings per share, in the same period of 2021. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliations to the applicable GAAP numbers accompany this press release.

Consolidated gross premiums earned of $724.7 million increased 25.6% from $577.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, reflecting higher average premium per policy.

Premiums ceded for reinsurance of $261.1 million increased from $199.7 million in the twelve months of 2021. The increase over last year also included an adjustment to reduce benefits under a multi-year reinsurance contract with retrospective provisions as a result of Hurricane Ian. Ceded premiums increased as a percentage of gross premiums earned from 34.6% to 36.0% in the twelve months of 2022.

Net investment income of $32.4 million increased from $12.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 as the company repositioned the investment portfolio to take advantage of higher interest rates. The increase also included a gain of $13.4 million on the sale of a portion of one of the properties in the Greenleaf portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized investment losses were $8.3 million compared with net realized and unrealized investment gains of $7.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was due to an overall decline in the market for equity securities compared with the year ended December 31, 2021.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses of $371.5 million increased from $227.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses was due to Hurricane Ian, growth at TypTap, and policies assumed or renewed from UPC.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses of $105.0 million increased from $93.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 but declined from 16.2% of gross premiums earned to 14.5%, reflecting a higher mix of renewal policies, lower commissions, and lower policy acquisition costs related to UPC policies.

General and administrative personnel expenses of $56.5 million increased from $45.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 due primarily to an increase in personnel related expenses and benefits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income (loss) is a Non-GAAP financial measure that removes from net income (loss) of HCI's portion of the effect of unrealized gains or losses on equity securities required to be included in results of operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 321. HCI Group believes net income without the effect of volatility in equity prices more accurately depicts operating results. This financial measurement is not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of GAAP Net income (loss) to Non-GAAP Adjusted net income (loss) and GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share to Non-GAAP Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is provided below.
